Question

I am running a loop that ticks a counter.

Basically, it’s

<counter>
<a php form>

the counter is pulling objects from a database. If there are 10 or more objects pulled, I want the form to be shut off. I’m not sure how to pull the counter out of the ‘while’ statement though?

<?php
    $counter = 0;

    //LOOPING CODE IS HERE
    example: ---- 'while ( $var->this() ) : $var->that();'----------

    // Add to counter
    $counter = ++$counter;

    // Cleanup after ourselves
    endwhile;
?>

now after the endwhile; I need to be able to call the last value of $counter and determine it was = or > 10?

Answer 1

The syntax is

$counter = 0;
while(condition is true)
{
   //increment $counter
   if($counter >= 10)
     break;  //break out of the loop
}

print($counter);
